Q & A: Sheba Chhachhi

Over the last three decades, Sheba Chhachhi has formed a practice that traverses the fields of documentary filmmaking, women’s rights activism and installation art. With an inclination for the unseen and unspoken worlds of women—from female ascetics to the Yamuna goddess, incarnate in the Yamuna River—Chhachhi’s practice gives voice and bears witness to both everyday atrocities and mythological tales. On a foggy December day, ArtAsiaPacific caught up with the 2011 Asia Pacific Breweries Foundation Signature Art Prize recipient for a chat in her Delhi studio.
